Please take some time to study all the entries - you don't have to have entered to be able to vote. In order to Give everyone a reasonable choice of their favourites I would ask that voters provide me with their first, second and third place entries. I will then allocate three points for a first, two for second, etc. The entry with the highest score will be adjudged the winner.  Voting will close next Friday January 13th and I intend to post the results on the Saturday.

To vote I suggest you use the "send message to" link on my profile page:

which appears below my name. I look forward to hearing from you!

It is really encouraging to see so many of you have taken the time to write and submit your entries, with such a diversity of styles and interpretations.

Do drop me a line if I've missed anyone/anything and thanks to everyone for your participation.

Regards,

A.E.
